Article Synopsis
  • This study used a Mendelian randomization approach to examine how six body composition traits are causally related to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
  • The researchers found that higher weight, whole body fat mass, and body fat percentage increased the risk of GDM, while total protein appeared to have a protective effect.
  • However, in more complex analyses, these associations were reduced to null, indicating the need for further research to confirm the connections between body traits and GDM.
